Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio not pleased with ‘arrogant, ignorant footballers’ Posted: 20 May 2013 06:56 AM PDT It’s not a real day of the week without an entertaining Paolo Di Canio quote. The Sunderland manager is ready to wield the axe after getting fed up of the lack of discipline among his players. He said: “I don’t care to have argument with my players but they have to go through the rules. [...]

Manuel Pellegrini wants to bring Pepe to Manchester City Posted: 20 May 2013 04:56 AM PDT FA disciplinary panels can expect plenty of overtime next season if Manuel Pellegrini succeeds in bringing Pepe to the Premier League.

Howard Webb swaps shirts after being bitten by midges (Newcastle vs Arsenal) Posted: 20 May 2013 01:30 AM PDT Referee Howard Webb and his team of officials swapped shirts at half-time during yesterday’s match between Newcastle and Arsenal amid fears that their yellow jerseys were irresistible to Tyneside’s insect life. After being bitten by midges in the first-half, Webb and his assistants swapped to green shirts at half-time. Any midge found to be involved [...]

Video: Tottenham fans wrongly believe Newcastle have scored against Arsenal Posted: 20 May 2013 01:12 AM PDT It’s not the last day of the season without the odd false rumour or two. Yesterday, someone at White Hart Lane started a very cruel rumour that Newcastle had equalised against Arsenal. Spurs needed the Gunners to drop points to have any hope of qualifying for the Champions League, so you can understand why their [...]

Top 10 conclusions: Premier League weekend, 19 May Posted: 20 May 2013 12:03 AM PDT 1. This wasn’t a round of Premier League fixtures: it was the world’s best attended leaving do.

Fergie won’t be forgetting his final game in management for a while. Manchester United’s draw [...]

GIF It: Jamie Carragher tries to sign off with a Hand of God (Liverpool vs QPR) Posted: 19 May 2013 08:48 AM PDT It’s safe to say that soon to be retired Jamie Carragher is a bit of a deity on Merseyside.
